Wysong Epigen (formerly Wysong Au Jus) canned formulas are premium 95% meat diets designed to mimic the archetypal, natural eating patterns of our carnivorous companion animals (dogs, cats and ferrets). It is one of the few natural canned pet diets on the market that is truly genetically appropriate and devoid of all the modern conventional pet food filler ingredients and additives, including starch ingredients.

Seven cats love this food and great for food allergies too!

I have three indoor cats and four semi feral outdoor cats. One of my indoor cats developed food allergies that caused skin issues (scabs) and patches of hair to fall out. After doing some research I discovered that beef, fish, chicken, turkey, pork, soy and grains are all common food allergens for cats. I can only feed him "unique" protein foods like lamb, quail and rabbit. Once I changed his diet, his issues disappeared!
To make my life easier and to keep them all healthy I switched them all over to a unique protein based food. Warning: if your pet has food allergies read the ingredient list carefully! A food may say it is made of lamb, but the ingredient list also shows liver andI have three indoor cats and four semi feral outdoor cats.

To make my life easier and to keep them all healthy I switched them all over to a unique protein based food. Warning: if your pet has food allergies read the ingredient list carefully! A food may say it is made of lamb, but the ingredient list also shows liver and it could be pork liver, fish, or other protein sources added in. My cat is sensitive enough that he cannot tolerate anything outside the actual unique protein.
I also only buy grain free and no/low carb varieties of canned cat food. Hound & Gatos Lamb, Evanger's Holistic Quail Dinner and also Hound & Gatos Rabbit. Chewy has them all! My cats now prefer this Epigen Rabbit food over the Hound & Gatos. This Epigen food also comes in a large can and is very reasonably priced for the high quality food that it is. Since this Epigen food is made for both cats and dogs, it does not contain some necessary mineral supplements that cats need like Taurine, but I give my cats a vitamin/mineral supplement added to their food, so that is not a problem in my household. (Vetri Science Nu Cat Multivitamin sold by Chewy) The rabbit in this food is also sourced in the USA, not China.
Thank you Chewy for having such a wide variety of pet foods to choose from, listing all the ingredients in the Nutritional Information of each, and for having the best prices and service a pet owner could ask for!… more

I love this company, no long list of ingredients on the label that don't survive the cooking process. I supplement their raw diet with this and their kibble Just for my ease of meal prep. Dogs love it so much they would open th can if they could. My Shepard has severe food allergies and this food is not a problem.

My pup suffers from IBD. He is on a prescription diet to keep it under control and he tolerates the Rabbit formula well. It is however, very expensive. So I purchased the Wysong Epigen Rabbit wet food and my boy absolutely loves it!!! Because it is nothing but rabbit, he tolerates it very well. I mix it with his prescription dry food and he gobbles it all down. I like that I can get a case of 12 rather than the case of 24 for cans of prescription food, so I don't have to pony-up $85. all at once. I would highly recommend this food to anyone that has a dog that suffers from allergies and can tolerate rabbit.
